While a serious topic,
Both of my sisters (twins to each other) are Gastroenterologists, one in Boston and one in Hartford....i can't tell you how many times i had to walk away from the dinner table when they started talking shop...scoping this one or that one. So remember, they do talk about all the a$$holes they see...
and for all of you who love to talk about dead cats...it is not the same when they bring the one to the kitchen to do their med school homework...
When Someone I know was being diagnosed with Salmonella, they had to scope them without any anesthesia ... the blood curdling screams were worse than any horror movie...
all I know is that they really need a better alternative since that port is intended to be an EXIT ONLY location!
